Given that it's already October, we've started to tap into those fall nail-polish trends — and luckily, the colors coming into focus are fresher than ever. According to the pros, we'll be seeing new takes on neutrals like sweet cider, tortoiseshell, olive green, and slate gray, plus rich red wine and navy tones for those craving a darker mani-pedi.
Ahead, all the fall polishes to add to your collection ASAP.
At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
Classic Red
Selena Gomez recently wore a glossy, bright-red manicure to encourage her fans to vote in November's presidential election. There's something undeniably powerful about the shade, which has long been favored by suffragettes and politicians who wear it on their lips. With masks now in the equation, this red nail polish lets your hands do the talking.

Apple Cider
Whether or not you're prepped and ready for the season of apple picking and pumpkin spice everything, you can't go wrong with a glossy red-tinged brown nail polish that pulls tonal inspiration straight from the orchard. This CND Shellac in Sweet Cider is a foolproof pick for a gel manicure anytime from now through Thanksgiving.

Burgundy Wine
If you've already traded your Friday 6 p.m. Aperol spritz for a glass of Merlot or Cabernet, your fingertips are prepped for a similar color swap. "I'm predicting we'll see a lot of burgundy shades this fall," says celebrity manicurist Tom Bachik. "The new red-wine shade from OPI's Milan collection is a beautiful rich shade that's deep, but warmer than the classic Lincoln Park After Dark."

Silver Glitter
To complement the richness of burgundy, Bachik recommends grabbing a neutral glitter nail polish. "Glitter polish is great because it's versatile; it can be worn alone, over a base color, or as part of a nail-art look," he says. We're partial to this metallic silver holographic tone from Pear Nova.

Olive Green
Editorial nail artist Betina Goldstein tells us that green nail polish makes for an unexpectedly chic manicure. "Earthy green tones are always in style," she says. This khaki olive from Essie's latest fall collection, Heart of the Jungle, is our favorite of the bunch..

Tortoiseshell Brown
Last winter, dark chocolate brown was a big celebrity manicure trend (endorsed by Kendall Jenner). But this fall, we'll see browns lighten up a bit for a warmer hue, the perfect complement to the tortoiseshell frames on your blue-light glasses.

Slate Gray
The sweet spot between black and white, a slate gray polish is the go-to for when you can't decide on a color. A moody, smoky, cool gray — both soft and edgy — pairs well with every fall outfit.
Triple O Polish Dahomey, $, available at Triple O Polish
Glossy Navy
When you're looking for something fashion-forward, you can't go wrong with a fresh navy blue. Since your favorite bottle has likely been benched for months (and may have dried out), we'd recommend ordering this gold-capped Mischo bottle, which is the ideal combo of dark blue with glassy shine.
Mischo #NYFW, $, available at Mischo
Dusty Rose
When you want a pink that's not a sheer blush or neon, go with a sophisticated mauve rose from the Olive & June fall collection.
